Civil Pursuit Web Application
This is a tool to enable large scale deliberation online. It leads people through a discussion process, not chat, that engages them in finding what they agree on. The process stages are derived from in-person dialog and deliberation but here they can be automated and made to scale to support very large numbers of participants.

Before you start coding, create a new branch for this issue:
git checkout -b short-issue-text#issue-numberFor example point-group#35. The issue text should just be a word or two that make it distinct, and the the issue number.
Then when you are ready to create a PR for the issue, or if you just want to push the code so we can talk about it, do:
git push -u origin short-issue-text#issue-numberThis will push the code to a new branch on github. (-u means upstream) After this first time, you only need to git push to push updates.
After your inital push, go to github.com/EnCiv/civil-pursuit and there will be a banner asking you if you want to creat a PR for this branch. Go ahead. Also, if you are only pushing this for review, there is a box you can check that says draft, or you can just day Draft in the comment title.
